chapter twenty-one

I stayed up until at least three in the morning waiting for Adrian to arrive . But I soon fell asleep and when I woke up at around ten in the morning he was not in the bedroom .

worried I slipped on my shoes and headed to Adrians moms house to see weather or not Adrian was there . I banged on the front door daniela answered looking a little frazzled ,I could here yelling in the background .

"Is Adrian here ? " I tried to look past her into the house .

" He did not come home ?" she asked me her eyes wide with surprise .

"No ,but dont worry I will find him ." I turned and walked down the stairs . " wait ." I turned back around before she shut the door . " Are you alright ? " I studied her face .

"I am better than fine ." she gave me this smirk that reminded me so much of Adrian .

" Okay ." I laughed and ran to where I knew I would find Adrian.

The roof of the main building in court .

As I thought I was correct about Adrian being on the roof he was just laying there relaxed his hand crossed behind his head .

" Hey ." J walked over and sat down beside him ,He turned his head and slowly lokked at me a blank expression on his face I couldn't tell what he was feeling .

" Are you okay ? " I asked him gently .

He said nothing for a minute but then sat up and turned so he was facing me. " I don't know Rose , I think I am happy that my mom is leaving my father but at the same time i'm not . " He ran his fingers through his messy hair that was more messy than usual .

" I get it you're happy your mom is leaving your dad it is probably weird to think that when you go home there will only be one parent ." He met my eyes his lip turned slightly upward . " Am I right ?" I smiled at him and he surprised me by grabbing my face and kissing me gently placing me down so I was laying on my back he held himself over me and looked down into my eyes .

He looked at me like he was searching for something in my own .

'' You seem to be the only one who really understands me, the way I think and all that.'' He smiled at me . '' Well, you know me like nobody else does , I can only hope to return the favor .'' I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist and pulled him even closer to me . '' I love you Rose I really do .'' He kissed me again and pried my hands and legs off of him and stood up . '' I will see you later I have to go do some things .'' He helped me up with a smile and hurried off the roof.

I stood there then shrugged it off . Adrian is a big boy he knows what he is doing and he sure as hell knows how to take care of himself no reason for me to follow him around or know where he is at ,at every minute . I am his girlfriend ,not his guardian .

'' Rose ! '' Lissa ran up to me looking completely and totally panicked . '' What happened ? '' I grabbed her arms and forced her to stand still and look at me . '' There has been a attack on the academy the strogi took four students . '' She told me . '' Who , do I know them ? '' I asked her she took a moment and looked down then back up at me . '' The school wasn't attacked like it was before in big numbers but enough that there mission would be successful . '' she took a breath . '' They only wanted these to royal moroi a Ivashkov and a zeklos , but when they tried to take them two dhampire students tried to stop them . I guess that the strogi decided that they liked then dhampires and took them to .'' she told me . '' Matt ? and who were the dhampire students ? '' My heart was beating fast I had a dreadful feeling of who the dhampire students were .

'' Jared and Sabrina .'' she told me and my stomach clinched but I felt the pure determination to save them and bring them back safetly to the academy . Even that dick Matt . '' Does anyone know where they are at or where the strogi took them . '' I asked her and began walking to my suit so I could change and get on to the first jet to wherever I had to go .

'' No there unsure of where they are but they have to be near by the school they are sending guardians to check the caves now . '' She told me practically running to keep up with me . '' I am going to the school to see what is going on and see how I can help .'' I told her . '' Me too .'' she caught my arm and pulled me to a stop .

'' No you are not it is to dangerous at the school , you need to stay here at court but tell Christian to pack his bags and meet me at the jet in thirty minutes I need him to come with me .'' I told her and walked away leaving her there .

I ran into my place and quickly packed everything that I would need and hurried to the jet . I knew that there was no time to waist in a situation like this there were lives at stake and I didn't want to see those kids die . '' I am here .'' Christian bordered the jet not much later than I had his bags in hand . '' You feed today ? '' I wanted to make sure he had high energy today unsure of weather he would be able to feed at the school it was probably very hectic at the moment .

'' How are you planning on finding the kids ?'' he asked as the jet took off reclining in his seat .'' I honestly have no idea .''
